Don't worry. I certainly know the difference between a player and his or her character. I've played some evil and disturbing sorts in the past. However, I'm not sure about time skipping. I'm not fond of attempting such things without prior clearance from my GM. Thus I'm going to wait and see what Gummies wants before I post.

As for the Doctor, Capaldi I like a lot. He has a lot of energy. What I don't like is Moffat's recent writing. Where is the writing headed? Why is this Doctor ignoring the last half decade of character development? He acts like the catharsis that was the fiftieth anniversary never happened. The new master... is doing what he/she is doing because he/she is lonely? This is where Capaldi is getting shafted.
